EC&MW, Inc. earlier on in 2005 saw the need for a truly portable gantry crane. So we took the more traditional A-Frame style gantry and added a new and unique concept: removable/telescoping legs! With our new design it allows it to be broken down further than any other gantry, making it the most portable A-Frame gantry of its time, breaking down in minutes. It is deal for setting/servicing A/C units where the only access is a small staircase or hatchway to the roof. The main frame without the casters extensions weighs only 36 pounds. There is also no need for a full size pickup to haul this one around because it fits easily into mini vans and smaller pickups which is ideal for service/maintenance companies. Transporting this gantry between facilities or to the job could never be easier.

The above picture shows our gantry crane broken down for easy portability and cleaning if used in the food services industry. Main frame is only 42.5″ high by 45″ wide by 4.625′” deep and weighs only 36 pounds. The 4,000 pound capacity crane base weighs in at 44 pounds.

Above shows our cart assembly.

These gantries were is designed to have all four legs fully extended and secured with hitch and lynch pins before attempting any lifting of any loads.

All EC&MW cranes have a design factor of 15% of the allowable capacity for the weight of the hoist and 25% for impact.

Please note that CMAA 74 references steel design. In the case of our aluminum cranes, the deflection may be greater than CMAA 74 specifies due to the lower modulus of elasticity of aluminum compared to steel.

Never use gantry for lifting or supporting/moving humans or lifting or supporting loads over humans.

Never lift more than rated capacity (Capacity labeled on I Beam)

Never use gantry without all hitch & lynch pins and additional hardware secured in place.

Never makes any adjustments while gantry is in use or under load.

Never slings loads over top of I beam.

Never use/roll loaded gantry over any uneven surfaces or on any inclines.

Never push or pull the gantry with a lift truck or any other vehicle.

Never leave any load suspended in the air unattended.

Never work under a suspended load.

Never allow load to swing or come in contact with any portion of the gantry.

Never place feet or other objects under bases as extension tubes may pass through the base to the ground.

Never store gantry where corrosives chemical or solvents are kept.

Never position gantry legs where loaded or unloaded gantry can become unstable. (Keep legs adequately apart. At least 50% of beam length or more)

Never position trolley or hoist assemblies on outside of gantry legs.

Always

Always inspect gantry prior to each use for missing or damaged parts.

Always when moving the loaded gantry, push on the gantry not the load.

Always when moving the loaded gantry, keep load as close to the floor as possible and positioned in the center of the I-beam.

Always when moving loaded gantry push/pull simultaneously on both gantry legs. Not on the load.

Always limit your speed to less than 1 1/2 miles per hour when moving gantry crane.
